The ruling on saying "Peace be upon you, O Prophet"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The guest Shaykh says: It is not permissible to say in the monthly [greeting], "Peace be upon you, O generous one," for his saying "O the one addressed" and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No. He says: It is a supplication for good character. Rather, the obligatory thing is to say, "Peace be upon..."
Answer:
This is an affectation for which Allah has not sent down any authority. The Muslims in various eras, including scholars and hadith scholars, have used this phrase, "Peace be upon you, O Prophet." This is not a matter of supplication, but rather a matter of sending peace upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), sending blessings upon him, or making a supplication.
